=====Chirp cache=====
Also known as a '''wireless beacon cache'''. This is a [[Garmin]]-created innovative on multi-caches using wireless beacon technology. It is a physical game piece, about the size of a half dollar that can be hidden anywhere. Powered by a small battery, it is able to transmit a signal detectable on [[Garmin]] devices. The Chirp stores hints, multicache coordinates, counts visitors, and can confirm the cache is nearby.<ref>[http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/2010/10/garmin-chirp-brings-geocachers-even-more-creativity-connectivity.html Garmin chirp Brings Geocachers Even More Creativity, Connectivity] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301003905/http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/2010/10/garmin-chirp-brings-geocachers-even-more-creativity-connectivity.html |date=March 1, 2012}}, published October 15, 2010</ref><ref>[https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=74811&pvID=75243 Garmin Chirp] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130302092159/https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=74811&pvID=75243 |date=March 2, 2013}}, retrieved January 13, 2013</ref> These caches caused considerable discussion and some controversy at Groundspeak, where they were ultimately given a new "attribute".<ref name="geo_types"/><ref>[http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=261919&st=150&p=4504653&#entry4504653 Garmin Chirp- Geocaching Beacon] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130722031318/http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=261919&st=150&p=4504653&#entry4504653 |date=July 22, 2013}}, retrieved January 13, 2013</ref> These types of geocaches can also be listed as a traditional, multi-cache, or letterbox.
